This is a much requested mod for phpBB, but all attempts to create a stable one so far have been abandoned.Technically, the difficulties seem to be mostly that the board is running server-sided, whereas Google maps are running client-sided (in Javascript).So you have to devise a 'bridge' between the server and your PC (in tech speak: AJAX).

Meanwhile, I found out that he has been banned from the phpBB developer community in 2012, and a quick google search on "No users in map" shows at least 4 other boards with the same issue. But, like any amateur, he keeps claiming his mod is fine and *should* work, so it must be my board's fault. Not at all helpful.

I'll keep looking but do not hold your breath.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. (Don't forget to vote! Not that it matters...)

Try a third party service instead, another forum I frequent uses (I pay fr the £10 a year autorenewal (Premium Service)) Pin in the Map based on Google Maps. Just share a password via secure area of this site.HH.

Looks interesting Mark. Developers are based in Winchester in the UK. Pins would need to update from a master membership list and be based on (maybe) post/zip code and contain text of (say) the forum username. Pieter would need to offer an 'opt-in' option for forum members to allow their entry to appear on the map. Just my initial thoughts.
